“Oak Cliff Lions Club Needs You!”

  Thank you for visiting the Oak Cliff Lions Club website! I hope you enjoy your stay and come visit us for one of our meetings to really see what we are all about. When you come, I hope the one thing you take with you is our sense of community. The largest Club in this District of Lionism, I am proud to say our membership has a great diversity of age, gender and ethnicity.  We have a lot of fun at each meeting while enjoying great programs that shed light on a variety of community issues. The only thing we need is you!

 If you are looking for a place to plug in – this is it! In addition to providing a kind of “extended family”, you also can serve the community through our many service projects and help raise funds for noble causes.

I still recall with joy the day my mother, and Lion sponsor, invited me to be her guest at the Oak Cliff Lions Club. At the young age of 19, I was certain the experience would be less than exciting but obliged her request in spite of my perception. Needless to say, I had a wonderful time and have been proud to call myself a member of the “Greatest Lions Club in Lions International” ever since.

This will be a historic year in many respects. We will kickoff the 75th Anniversary year of our Club’s inception, and I will be the first person of Hispanic descent and the youngest to lead the Club. I am humbled by this honor and look forward to building on the legacy passed on by the pillars of leadership that have walked this path before me. My goals for this year are very simple – increase the amount of funds we distribute to our designated charities, enhance the structure of our Club to increase member participation in activities and spotlight the legacy of our Club to inspire others to join our noble cause.

My challenge to myself and to all the members is to renew our personal commitment to Lionism and begin with passion our next quest of service to the community for the generations that will follow. Will you join me on this quest?

All good things,
Michelle Metzger, President 2002-2003
